Design as hobby & Would you turn down a commission?

[Brian Phillips]

I've always thought it would be very neat to try my hand at it.  I still swear to this day, if I could semi-retire, I would offer to work for anyone in the biz and do it for a cheap wage just to get a feel for the day to day stuff and watch a course evolve from initial site vist to completed project.

You could still do that but you don't want it enough, that is why you are not in the business...there are thousands just like you Kalen but they are probably younger and cheaper!

Well,

Its true on one level, I want to live in my house and provide for my family more than I want to work on a golf course construction site....hence the semi-retirement!
